Problem The problem was to determine which of three selected teaching methods was most effective in teaching the sport of skeet shooting to male students at the University of Utah. The three teaching methods used were the whole method, the whole method supplemented with selected audio visual aids, and the part-whole method. Hypotheses The primary hypotheses stated that there would be no significant differences among the three groups at the post test phase of the study for either knowledge or for skills. It was also hypothesized that there would be no significant differences in group mean gain scores among the three groups. Secondary hypotheses stated that there would be no significant differences 'between pre-test and post-test scores within each of the three groups for either knowledge or for skills. Procedures Subjects utilized in the study were taken from three skeet classes during the Fall quarter 1973, at the University of Utah. Prior to commencing the study, each subject was tested for level of skills by shooting one round of skeet and for knowledge by responding to a IS-question written test. |
